++ Moritz Waldemeyer’s work for Ok Go!

++ Buglabs have finally launched their products.

Last weekend’s workshop was really great and we had loads of fun. An example of the 30 odd projects that were made that weekend is a really cute project by Birgitta Hosea who, along with Anne Pietsch, made a doll that dances according to the amount of light hitting it. A motor taken from a mini fan makes the spring jiggle. The picture was taken before they attached the light sensor.

Check out the rest of the pics.

We’re very happy to announce that Moving Brands will be hosting our Arduino + Processing workshop. They have a fabulous room they are lending us for the weekend right in the heart of Shoreditch and will be talking a little bit about their work to us.

There are still space left, so do sign up!

I’ve started posting up links to different sites and references that came up last weekend during the RFID workshop.

Check it out.
